Now we know the blade is 4-5 inches and non-serrated. Is that type of material used in a kitchen knife?

Absolutely. I have two that answer precisely to that description. Five inches rather than four, though; damn I'm getting nerdy, just measured one. Exactly five inches. Very sharp point. Probably it could easily be broken.

And WHOOOAAAA. A blade four to five inches long isn't small by any means. I doubt most pocket knives have blades longer than three inches. Of course we need to check this out.

As I said: I've got two small kitchen knives, French manufacture, Sabatier style, carbon steel. Blades exactly five inches long. They're not exactly something you'd carry about in your pocket.

I think it says that whoever did this didn't set out to kill anyone that night. If they had, I think they'd have brought along a much bigger knife.

How? My main kitchen knife, also carbon steel, is a really magnificent Henckel with an eight inch blade. Not exactly something you stick in your pocket. I've owned it for nearly 20 years, and I've only had it sharpened twice. Knife people go crazy when they see it. But that's another story. My, ah, point is: knives that big are really a problem to carry around. Put 'em in a bag and they'll cut holes in it.

See what I mean? We need to know if the knife was a folding knife. If so, I very much doubt it had a five inch blade. Even four is quite unlikely.
